This is a good initiative to use the available hardware for test and measurement, but it is not supporting the need of any one, as a hobbyist will not be able to spend this much and the frequency range is too less for a professional use, it fact it would be better to write a code to accept usb samplers on iPads/iPhones.

@elctrnx_lyf, I think we will see more wireless-controlled test equipment using phones and tablets. Personally, I'd like a bench oscilloscope with a tablet for a screen and you can detach the tablet when you need control from a distance.

I have a Link Instruments MSO-19 to use as a comparison. Truth is if I need ascope and the 5MHz bandwidth isn't a limitation, I'll surely use the Oscuim over the lin just because I can use it on my iPad or iPhone. The Link DSO requires a laptop.
